There are several clustering algorithms, but k-means — the algorithm we're going to implement from scratch in Python and Mojo🔥 in this blog post — is one of the most popular due to its simplicity and ease of implementation.

Last week, Chris Lattner sat down for an interview on the Developer Voices podcast with Kris Jenkins. It was a wide-ranging episode that explored a variety of topics, including the motivations behind creating Mojo, what it offers to both Python and non-Python programmers alike, how it is built for performance, and which performance features actually matter. This post recaps a number of highlights from the podcast, edited for clarity and brevity. You can find the full 90 minute interview on YouTube.

Mojo🔥 24.3 is now available for download and this is a very special release. This is the first major release since Mojo🔥 standard library was open sourced and it is packed with the wholesome goodness of community contributions! The enthusiasm from the Mojo community to enhance the standard library has been truly remarkable. And on behalf of the entire Mojo team, we’d like to thank you for all your feedback, discussion and, contributions to Mojo, helping shape it into a stronger and more inclusive platform for all. 

A matrix is a rectangular collection of row vectors and column vectors that defines linear transformation. A matrix however, is not implemented as a rectangular grid of numbers in computer memory, we store them as a large array of elements in contiguous memory.

This will be your example-driven guide to Mojo SDK 24.2, as part of the latest MAX release. If I had to pick a name for this release, I’d call it MAXimum⚡ Mojo🔥 Momentum 🚀 because there is so much much good stuff in this release, particularly for Python developers, adopting Mojo. 

Today, we’re excited to announce general availability of MAX 24.2, with several big features.

At Modular, open source is ingrained in our DNA. We firmly believe for Mojo to reach its full potential, it must be open source. We have been progressively open-sourcing more of Mojo and parts of the MAX platform, and today we’re thrilled to announce the release of the core modules from the Mojo standard library under the Apache 2 license!

In the field of natural language processing (NLP), semantic search focuses on understanding the context and intent behind queries, going beyond mere keyword matching to provide more relevant and contextually appropriate results. This approach relies on advanced embedding models to convert text into high-dimensional vectors, capturing the complex semantics of language.

Mojo as a language offers three main benefits, namely the 3 P’s: Performance, Programmability and Portability. It enables users to write fast code, do so easier than many alternative languages, and allows code to be run across different CPU platforms, with GPU support on the roadmap.

March 14th aka 3/14 or 3.14 is known as $\pi$ Day, and it honors the mathematical constant $\pi$ (pi), which represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. On this special day, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to the beauty of mathematics, numerical methods, $\pi$, and Mojo. So join me on this journey as I implement a fast vectorized Monte Carlo approximation method of calculating $\pi$. Happy $\pi$ Day!
